Microneedling

Microneedling is a popular and effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. At Thomas Dermatology, we offer SkinPen microneedling, a highly advanced and FDA-approved microneedling device that delivers safe and effective results for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the use of tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which promotes the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, microneedling helps to improve the skin’s texture, firmness, and overall appearance.

SkinPen, the microneedling device we use at Thomas Dermatology, is designed to target deeper layers of the skin, which allows for more precise and effective treatment. This advanced technology helps with a wide range of skin concerns while promoting smoother and healthier-looking skin.

What Conditions Does Microneedling Treat?

• Microneedling is effective for treating a variety of skin conditions, including:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other types of scarring
• Uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Stretch marks
• Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
• Overall skin rejuvenation
  

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?SkinPen uses a sterile, single-use cartridge that contains multiple tiny needles. During the treatment, the device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production and help improve skin texture and tone. In addition to improving the appearance of the skin, microneedling can also enhance the absorption and effectiveness of topical treatments, such as serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma).

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

• Minimal downtime: Microneedling with SkinPen requires little recovery time, and most patients can return to their daily activities within 24 hours.
• Safe and effective: SkinPen is FDA-approved, ensuring that it meets the highest standards for safety and efficacy.
• Non-invasive: Microneedling is a non-surgical procedure with no need for incisions or stitches.
• Natural results: By stimulating your body’s collagen production, microneedling encourages the skin to rejuvenate itself, resulting in natural-looking improvements over time.
• Customizable: SkinPen treatments can be tailored to your specific skin concerns, allowing for a personalized approach to your skincare needs.

What to Expect During Treatment
The microneedling procedure is relatively quick, with most treatments taking about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Most patients experience little to no pain, though some may feel mild discomfort during the procedure.

After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and there may be some swelling or dryness. These side effects typically subside within a few days, and you can resume your normal activities shortly after the procedure.
